Built in 1860 for a Free Will Baptist congregation, it is a little-altered example of a rural vernacular church building.
The interior consists of small vestibules at each entrance, separated by a choir niche, and a single large chamber.
Floors are original wooden planking, and the walls are plaster with horizontal board wainscoting.
[3] The church was built for a Free Will Baptist congregation founded in 1847 by the division of one serving all of what are now Holderness and Ashland.
The church was built on a small parcel on Owl Brook Road, purchased by the congregation for $20.
